Each night I wish to God he'd let her restThis hurts me more than any man can bearShe's my angel from the westThere will never be one to take her place

When you go I will knowFollow you to the starsAnd when the world burns apartThere'll be a place for your carI'd give you everythingIf only I'd have known you'd take itBut you don't, 'cause you're youAnd that's why I'll always love youMy pearl of the stars

The pill she takesThe pain of which she drownsOur baby sleeps next doorShe's new in townI'll tell her how wonderful you wereI'll remember everything you were to me

When you go I will knowFollow you to the starsAnd when the world burns apartThere'll be a place for your carI'd give you everythingIf only I'd have known you'd take itBut you don't, 'cause you're youAnd that's why I'll always love youMy pearl of the stars

When you go I will knowFollow you to the starsAnd when the world burns apartThere'll be a place for your carI'd give you everythingIf only I'd have known you'd take itBut you don't, 'cause you're youAnd that's why I'll always love you

When you go I will knowFollow you to the starsAnd when the world burns apartThere'll be a place for your carI'd give you everythingIf only I'd have known you'd take itBut you don't, 'cause you're youAnd that's why I'll always love youMy pearl of the stars
